Miles: 380
Weather: Sunny and Warm - 80's
Left Watson Lake and the Historic Air Force Lodge at 0900. Morning was cool which was a welcome relief. Stopped at the also famous Sign Post Forest. The ride to Whitehorse was uneventful. Just road and trees.
Stopped at the Harley shop in Whitehorse. I guess I expected something unique but it looked like all of the shops in the lower 48 (I can say that now) but pricier. The weak US dollar sucks. Exchange rate is about even but many Canadians charge 10% to convert. They sure are nice about it though:)
We put the hammer down for the last 90 miles between Whitehorse and Haines Junction. Arrived around 1800, got a room at the Cozy Corner with a view of the Eliason Range. We could sense Alaska was near!
